SYTYCD Canada Top 10 Results – Down to 8
I apologize for not listing the bottom 3 or who I thought would go home in last night’s performance show post.
I wasn’t entirely sure how it would look because of the individual voting, also, I was pretty tired from driving 5 hours in the rain on scary highways from Kamloops to Vancouver.
Moving on….
Here is tonight’s results.
Top 10 Group Routine – Sabrina Matthews
“Heavy in Your Arms” – Florence + The Machine
This was awesome. They all looked nude, wrapped in tape. It was really well choreographed and danced. I will post it once I find it on YouTube.
Female Results:
Lindsey – Safe
Denitsa – Not Safe
Yulia – Not Safe
Melissa – Not Safe *gasp*
Jordan – Safe
Male Results:
Christian – Not Safe
Shane – Safe
Francois – Not Safe
Adam – Not Safe
Matt – Safe
Solo’s
Denitsa – “Born This Way” – Lady Gaga
She did very well, but she always does in her genre and her solo’s, trust me as we have seen her “dance for her life” numerous times.
Yulia – Not sure the song
She had feathers all over her outfit, danced like a bird and looked kind of strange to me. ANother we have seen too often “dance for her life”
Melissa – “Swans” – Uncle Bob
Shocked to see her in the bottom, but Jordan was there once also. I thought it would be Lindsey or Jordan only because we needed a bottom three. Was nice to see her solo, such talent!
Christian – Not sure the song
Danced amazingly well as I imagined he would.
Francois – Not sure the song.
He danced well. I didn’t expect him in the bottom based on last night but based on the whole season so far it didn’t surprise me.
Matt – “Fix the World Up for You” – James Morrison
So great to watch, really talented and powerful dancer!
In the end it was Yulia & Francois who went home.
It is going to be tough next week as we get down to the best of the best, or Canada’s most favourite!
Lindsey, Jordan, Melissa are so talented! Denitsa is also, but I think she is a one-trick show for the most part. I would LOVE Jordan to take it but I think Melissa may.
For the men, at this point, I feel bad saying that they all blur together still. I mean Shane is the clear front-runner for me, but Christian, Adam and Matt are all very talented, I would have a tough time putting one miles ahead of the others. I just feel Shane is amazing!
Who are your bets to take it all the way?
Side Note: It drives me NUTS when Leah Miller says “Why are you so…” last night she said it so many times.. “Why are you so good?” or “Why are you so in shape?” and “Why do you have to stop?” I can’t stand her! She comes across so condescending! Between her and Jean-Marc I almost can’t stand watching the show! I usually just watch the dances and maybe a guest judge or two, thank goodness for PVR (fast-forward the annoying parts)
Last Night Leah Miller:
I think Melissa suffers from the judges overdoing the standing Os. Last night’s hip-hop was good, but standing-O level? Even though they nailed it, the routine itself didn’t really warrant the ovation.
Unlike Melanie who had the gobs and gobs of cute personality to cushion her from all the fawning the judges did, I don’t think Melissa has that kind of immunity, and that scares me because I want either her or Jordan to win it (and the other one to take second).
@NC: I was thinking the same thing when I was watching the performances last night!
@Malicious Mandy; i agree completely with you about leah miller! another one is ‘why are you so sexy?” i mean, what are they supposed to reply to that????? all they can really do is smile. and she always tries to look cute, but she just comes off as really, really, fake.
anyways- solos. adam’s was odd. i’ve realized that he’s usually topless, and if he’s not, you can bet he’ll either take or rip it off. i mean, i know he’s good-looking, but seriously, i’m getting very tired of his solos. he flips and jumps around a bit until the time stops.
melissa’s was, of course, incredible. denitsa does seem like a one-trick pony, and as much as i disliked yuliya, i think denitsa over yuliya deserved to go home last night. i wonder how much jean-marc begged to keep denitsa so he can spin around in his chair after she solos.
Francois had a more original solo than Christian, and I’ve generally preferred his performances too, so I’m a little surprised at that elimination.
Not at Yulia though. Her problem the entire season has been one of perceived personality – whether it’s language issues or something else I don’t know, but she just hasn’t come across as the warm and fuzzy type, which is what the viewers want in a girl.
Francois is a better all around dance, but it seems like Christian is a more classical ballroom male dancer. If they ever bring back stars like the US version, he’ll probably be Canada’s Pasha. If for no other reason than that, it’s worth keeping him around for to build up future year’s ratings.
I was surprised to see Jordan not in the bottom three. I figured the dancing was a little to risky for most voters. Thankfully it wasn’t, because she seems to be a fine piece of clay that choreographers just love molding into masterpieces.
I think a lot of people who normally vote for Melissa went ahead and voted like crazy for Shane to keep him safe. He’s the most vulnerable and yet probably one of the best contemporary males on the show.
Because I am a big Melissa fan, I hope the bottom 3 gave her fans a scare and they’ll protect her next week.
As for the Standing O’s the judges can just stand for everyone next show, and that will cancel out the negativity and backlash Melissa may have received.
Well I watched the dances tonight… And Jordan finally got hip hop… And I loved it. I hope fans vote or christian I think he and Shane are the strongest of the men… Nobody can do lifts like Christian and talk about an ability to make his partner always shine… Denitsa has never looked so good… I just dont find Lindsay to be as overall good as Jordan and Melissa.
All three are amazing dancers, they each just shine in slightly different ways. Lindsay has more heart, Jordan has more body, Melissa has more soul.
I really think that what Lindsay has going for is grace and elegance… But it didn’t serve her in hip hop… And she really has gotten an awful lot of contemporory dances so far… Especially lately… Every dance out of her element I have felt she was typically the weaker partner in… I’m sorry to all her fans, but if she somehow wins I personally feel that would be a crime… I would be happy with Melissa, Jordan, or even Shane winning… Christian should be top our as well… Adam, like Lindsay, never seems to shine outside his element, although they both look ok outside their element… The most well versed dancers have been Jordan, Melissa, and Shane… And there isn’t a better partner than Melissa and Christian… So guess my edge should go to Melissa, but I just love Jordan’s dancing so much that I could watch all her dances on repeat and all I could do is drool… Such a great body, great spirit, and always leaves everything on the dance floor…
